The variegated wolf (''Canis anthus soudanicus''), also known as the Nubian wolf, is a subspecies of African golden wolf native to Sudan and Somalia. It is smaller and more lightly built than the Egyptian wolf, standing 38 cm (15 in) at the shoulder, and 102 cm (40 in) in length. Compared with more the wolf-like Egyptian wolf, the variegated wolf is built more like a greyhound. The ears are somewhat larger than the Egyptian wolf's and the body colour is generally pale stone-buff, with blotches of black.〔(''The game animals of Africa'' (1908) by Richard Lydekker, published by London, R. Ward, limited )〕 Its main habitat consists of rocky regions, where it feeds on small mammals and birds.〔(''The natural history of dogs : canidae or genus canis of authors ; including also the genera hyaena and proteles'' (1839) by Charles Hamilton Smith and Sir William Jardine, published by Edinburgh : W.H. Lizars )〕 The subspecies has been encountered in elevations of up to 5000 feet in the highlands of Abyssinia.〔''A monograph of the canidae'' by St. George Mivart, F.R.S, published by Alere Flammam. 1890〕 ==References==
